BRITISH Airways (BA) will increase frequencies to Chennai and Hyderabad from London's Heathrow Airport beginning summer 2013, flying six times per week instead of five.

Christopher Fordyce, BA South Asia’s regional commercial manager, said: “We have seen an excellent increase in demand from Hyderabad and Chennai in the last few years. India continues to be one of the fastest growing markets for British Airways.”

Sajan K Gupta, director, Vaayu Seva Tours said: “BA is consolidating its market share in markets that have shown maximum growth in the last two years. London is always an attractive destination for Indians, and Chennai and Hyderabad are booming economically, adding greater consumption power.”
